Remembering souls lost to tragedy on All Souls Day

Goa's history is marked by several tragic events that claimed many lives. On All Souls Day, we revisit these sombre chapters from Goa's timeline. From the Spanish flu epidemic to the sinking of a ship and a tragic bus accident, these events serve as reminders of Goa's past as we honour the departed.

Today, let us remember all those who are no longer with us and commemorate lives which were lost in these tragedies. This video discusses three significant events: the Spanish flu, the tragedy of the launch and the Calvim bus accident.

Memorials have been erected to pay tribute to all the deceased. These —whether standing solemnly in the hills of Goa or along the banks of the Mandovi—tell stories of love, and remembrance. They invite all who encounter them to pause, reflect and pay tribute to the memory of those who have passed.

In the face of tragedy, the spirit of the Goan people remains resilient, united by their shared and the bonds of community forged in sorrow. We invite you to watch the video, and join us in paying respects the ones gone before us.
